    They have showed their true goals. Patch came and it's obvious they just want our money and do not care about the actual GAME BEING FUN. That's my goodbye, at least for now.

    This latest D4 patch shows exactly why lesser and lesser ppl willing to play Blizzard's game. People are disappointed because they could see the potential of D4. However, the dev team just refuse to listen to the playerbase, not only not focusing on the players' feedback on the QOL issues, e.g. stash, gem tab, etc. They decided to make the game even less fun by increasing the difficulty and time required to reach end game. And the New "End game" will be like 70% as strong of the Pre-patch "End game". Basically, makes you suffer more without giving out reward and satisfaction that are in proportion.

    Don't waste your time on this garbage.    … Expand

    welp, the game was so fun at first, played it for 20 days straight but if you are an endgame player and have lots of time, you will not like this game. The Itemization and Endgame is incredible boring. Balancing is terrible, there are builds which are just overachieving by 10000% and other builds are so bad you cannot even level with them in world tier 1.

The Itemization and Endgame is incredible boring. Balancing is terrible, there are builds which are just overachieving by 10000% and other builds are so bad you cannot even level with them in world tier 1. So if you want to have fun in this game, you will very likely have to pick out a build you already know is good because if you want to do a build yourself, it will very likely suck and not work, not to mention that many builds dont even work against Uber Lillith which is also a pointless boss. I think this game is a very good foundation and could potentially become a Godlike ARPG but blizzard once again destroyed all Hope with their latest patches and updates. They simply dont play the game. THey nerfed Sorc so hard even tho the class was broken and has like 2-3 Functioning Builds. Lightning not being viable at all and they nerfed Lightning the hardest, wtf. Even the Sorcs Paragon board has multiple logical fallacies, the game feels unfinished to me. Story is pretty boring, not much interesting stuff happens and its mostly baiting you out of your time. Thats why I will never play the story again. I will now try Season 1 and I will try once again to just go for a random Build I wanna try, if it doesnt work I will just quit the game. I dont wanna be forced to play the Meta Builds just in order to be able to play the game, makes no **** sense. Blizzard hire me and I will fix it for you, no problem.… Expand

    The problem isn't the genre. The problem isn't the Diablo universe. The problem isn't the quality of the art in the game.

    I've played Blizzard games for 20+ years. Blizzard Entertainment is no longer the same company that became famous for "Blizzard polish" on the games they make. Blizzard is simply a name that Activision can put on a product using nostalgic intellectual property to lure you in, get your money, and then fail to deliver on any aspect of the game you thought you were buying.

    Disappointing doesn't sum it up. This game had so much potential that was missed out of because Activision prioritized profiting off of seasonal content as much as possible instead of creating a genuinely fun and engaging experience.

    I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone seeking the same feelings they felt for Diablo 2. It isn't that type of game at all anymore. One day I will learn that just because it's a franchise I grew up loving, released by a company I grew up loving, doesn't mean either of those things are relevant when Activision (Microsoft) is involved.

    Avoid this game.    … Expand

    You make a build, collect everything you need for it. Blizzard think it should be weaker. You go for a new build, grind stuff and improve it. Poff you get even weaker than before. Just why? The endgame is boring and the devs are Karens

    The new patch; however seems to demonstrate what can only be described as "ill-will" from the publisher, gutting and destroying most - all the elements players enjoyed (Helltide).

    One redditor summed it up perfectly: "Action RPG with slow paced action. Loot hunter with boring loot [and awful management], An MMO with no social aspects [poor guild matchmaking, no group finder], A dungeon crawler that feels more like a game of fetch the stones and put them on the pedestals."

    This game has a lot of potential but was released prematurely. The campaign and initial leveling experience seems fun, but quality of life and ability for player to be creative at endgame are terrible. Huge issues with inventory, saving builds, changing builds, crafting, tuning, the list goes on.

Season 1 is a huge insult, even reading the patch notes 'we feel'.... they use this far too much. Noone cares about what you feel, pay attention to you customers and the facts they have been providing since the start. Example: they took the worst class in the game and made it worse with 'we feel like' comments about how they had shoehorned us into specific specs if we were to compete with other classes, then nerfed us to oblivion to the point the game is no longer enjoyable or fun in end game. I could also be seeing this all wrong, maybe end game for blizz is how they end the game, except for the most desperate folks who just can't find something else to do or better to play. Again, don't trust a 'we will fix it', they might just do that, in a few seasons. Meanwhile, everyone should move on to other games.
    All that said, enjoy the game till 70! Not terrible for just the original gaming experience, but Blizz gets a 1/10 for failing their player base so hard - again, and again, and again.    … Expand

    Started with great potential, but developers decide to nerf everyone, hitting the weakest class even harder than the other ones. No motivation to continue playing. Too late for me to get my money back, but anyone reading this and hasn't bought the game yet: Wait to see if the devs come to their senses again!

    As an avid fan of the Diablo series, I had been eagerly anticipating the release of Diablo IV. However, after finally playing the game, I can confidently say that it was a major disappointment and fell far short of the high standards set by its predecessors.

However, after finally playing the game, I can confidently say that it was a major disappointment and fell far short of the high standards set by its predecessors.

    First and foremost, the graphics and visuals were shockingly outdated. In an era where gaming technology has evolved leaps and bounds, Diablo IV seemed like a throwback to the early 2000s. The lackluster character designs and environments felt bland and uninspired, failing to immerse players in the dark and immersive world that Diablo games are known for.

    Additionally, the storyline was a convoluted mess. Diablo games have always boasted engaging narratives that draw players into a rich, dark fantasy realm. However, in Diablo IV, the plot seemed rushed and poorly developed, lacking the depth and complexity that made the previous installments so captivating. The character motivations were unclear, and the dialogue felt clichéd and predictable, making it difficult to connect with the story.

    Gameplay was another letdown. The combat mechanics felt clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to engage in battles with demons. The skill system lacked depth and creativity, leaving players with a sense of monotony and limited choices. The promise of diverse character classes fell flat as each one felt unbalanced and underwhelming, failing to provide a unique gaming experience.

    Perhaps the most disappointing aspect was the monetization strategy employed in Diablo IV. The game was riddled with microtransactions, which not only disrupted the gameplay but also gave players a distinct pay-to-win advantage. The developers seemed more focused on squeezing money from players than delivering an enjoyable and balanced gaming experience.

    Furthermore, the numerous bugs and glitches encountered during gameplay were simply unacceptable. Frequent crashes, loading issues, and server problems plagued the overall experience, adding to the frustration and diminishing any sense of enjoyment.

    In conclusion, Diablo IV was a colossal disappointment. From its outdated graphics and lackluster storytelling to its subpar gameplay and exploitative microtransactions, the game failed to live up to the legacy of the Diablo series. It lacked the soul and passion that made its predecessors beloved by millions, leaving fans feeling betrayed and let down. Save your money and steer clear of this disappointing installment.    … Expand

    This game is like a can of Bud Light. In the beginning, it may seem like a way to pass the time. Then, you may even have a little fun with it. But in the end, it will turn on you and betray everything you believe in. You will take to social media to protest, but it will be met with deaf ears. Blizzard doesn't care about you.

You're game is rated Mature its a young adult. Here you are still trying to control it, make it no fun. Before everyone was enjoying hanging out and chilling with Diablo 4. Then Momma and Dada Blizzard kept screwing with their child. No! You can't let people have fun, no you can't stack those buffs, oh you can well it was a good accident but we can fix it No! NO! NO! BLIZZARD YOU ARE THE WORST, You need to understand we know its your game. We know you made it, but you're not the fan base, you're not the people buying this to have fun. You're fans are not happy, trust on this.. It's all I see people upset because you nerfed small aspects of peoples builds that made huge impacts!
    **** i can't even play my Druid companion build anymore because every time I use my wolfs primary attack they end up floating above me while I get destroyed. Or my necromancer who wasn't the toughest but could always pull through, now just gets obliterated. Level capping Tier 4? Why not just make Tier 5? Diablo 3 sucked assssss but you could atleast play 16 different torment levels and it made sense.  You guys even made Gems useless...seriously..
    This game was good it truly was in the beta, I thought ok this is pretty sick. Then you guys did what you do best, which is well? Ruining something fun simply because you can. I am logging out and never buying or playing another Blizzard game...
    Ive played since Diablo...that game was good...
    Seriously quit being babies and fix things that need fixed like maping bugs, or dungeon elite spawn rates, or issues with aspects, or make weapon spawns that work for peoples builds not **** only werebear/werewolf stats for a druid whose never used either. I'll say it one more time, stop ruining and taking away other people's fun, give them what they want and deserve.

Season players in this season 1 get "malignant hearts" which adjusts a lot of the losses from the "nerfs" in this recent patch.

    The biggest offender of all. Their leading developer Rod Ferguson says extremely inappropriate nonsense that is very unprofessional in these "developer talks" or campfire chats talking about his actual rectum and colon which not a single person asked about.

There are 120 dungeons, but those dungeons come from half a dozen tilemaps and repeat the same half dozen bosses meaning there are really only 6 or so dungeons. Leveling takes absolute years, which would be okay if the game was fun or loot exciting, but I had the ancestrals I wanted more or less at level 72, meaning there was nothing to search for besides so called "uber uniques" which are mostly stat sticks which hardly change the game the way they were advertised. The nightmare sigil system suffers from the same terrible inventory management as the gems. Towns are beautiful but clunky, mounts are clunky and unreliable, abilities feel great, but you don't change your play pattern at all after level 30 or so, meaning you are pushing the same 5 buttons in the same order for hundreds of hours if you want to hit max level, and there is nothing you can even hope might drop along the way. World bosses are paper thin at high levels, and also boring as a result. A disaster of an ARPG and a nail in the coffin for this dying, once-hero of the game world.… Expand

The entire update around 7/18 was simply to destroy all the different areas that allows a player to have fun and enjoy their time. Rod F cannot hand feedback from fans so he also blocks them as to why I am here leaving an official review.… Expand

    NO END GAME = END OF THE GAME
    very disappointed... diablo 4 is only a commercial game
    Terrible end game loop. No chase items. No crafting. No agency on the contents and rewards. Bad itemization.

    Game was incredibly promising at launch with a gripping story. However with not learning from your fanbase on what they desire and expect in previous installments and bringing them here is one thing but then to nerf damage reduction to a point of being irrelevant and cutting damage output almost in half while buffing NPCs is a complete joke.

Only thing I can think is sabotage by a group that doesn't want to hand off a successful franchise to Microsoft. Not listening to your player base and communicating with your audience is a recipe for disaster. If you havent purchased this yet I definitely advise you to stay away.… Expand

    Game is not fun most builds are not viable. Many features have been disabled including no set items or runes and items are not tradeable. Storyline quests are bugged can’t complete several quest lines. Game feels like a chore to play

    This game is absolute garbage now. At first it was OK but this patch completely destroyed everything. Sorcerer is unplayable because of the massive damage reduction and instant death. What a joke of a game.

    Its insane how you legit nerf everything. Do you guys have Cell phone that can tell you how we the player are tell you how bad this game is... Just because Microsoft is buying you out. Doesnt mean you take its on us.. Just revert everything back to normal.. Because if I could id like to refund this game and put my money in POE

    I dont know how Blizzard thought we would react to having the pace of the game slowed so much for the first season

    Diablo4 was the most anticipated game of my adult gaming life. I spent hundreds of hours in D2 and D3; bought D2R and had a blast. D4 campaign and early game were awesome. A few bugs but overall the gameplay was crisp, great story, amazing CGI, and levelling and looting felt great. The end game was a bit boring but 'hey for a launch it was pretty good'. Then came the nerfs. Fixing aDiablo4 was the most anticipated game of my adult gaming life. I spent hundreds of hours in D2 and D3; bought D2R and had a blast.

The end game was a bit boring but 'hey for a launch it was pretty good'. Then came the nerfs. Fixing a bug where you could a billion damage is a logical fix, but nerfing every skill into the ground because some level 100 builds could solo the final boss... isn't that the point of a level 100 build? You should be able to faceroll everything at that point with optimal gear. Instead they destroyed most builds, and made sorc and barb almost unplayable. The game is now 3-5 seconds of feeling good slaying stuff and 7-10 seconds of running around waiting on the next 3-5 second burst of damage. Its awful. Loot feels crappy; you can't min/max your build because gold is a resource and your stash space is limited so it really hinders build diversity. There's no 're-roll' function other than millions in gold and 15-20 minutes of manually unspecing a paragon board. The agrivating part is that they have the feedback now. Reddit and Blizzrd forums have been complaining of the same issues, the same QoL features that are in other games (heck they're in D3 currently!). Instead of making players want to log in more because its fun, they took all the fun out, kept the same mediocre loot and made demons stronger while making characters weaker. The review bombs will continue until the nerfs are reverted. Hope this makes your shareholders happy Microsoft!… Expand

    I waited 10 years for Blizzard to basically come out and say **** all of you, how dare you enjoy playing a game." This isn't Dark Souls, Blizzard. Get your **** together. Honestly.

    There's a fair bit to like about Diablo IV — best-in-class sound design, intriguing character classes, fantastic graphics and occasionally addictive gameplay all feel like the series in its prime. However, even the best parts are let down by an undercurrent of frustrating design choices: the cynical inclusion of a Battle Pass, a bloated open world, repetitive mission structure and progression that too often feels meaningless cast a long shadow that let the latest Diablo title down. Future Seasons may refine what's here, but many of its issues sadly feel baked into the core experience. All but the most die-hard fans may wish to wait for a substantial sale on this one.

    The visuals are probably what excited me the most. The way the game looks and the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm playing the old Diablo again. On steroids and on a quadruple screen TV, but the feeling is still there. [Issue#328]

    Diablo is back, and taking no prisoners. The top-quality, lengthy campaign will be enough for some, while the endgame should prove a welcome obsession for others. [Issue#30, p.84]
